Homophobia Makes Zero Sense to Me
I’ve never understood why someone would have a problem with gay people. But I don’t understand a lot of things people are squeamish about. Like Cannibalism or snakes. But even those to a certain degree are more easily understood than homophobia. I just don’t get it. It’s not contagious or anything. I understand that for some people it’s against their religion and what not. But so is lying, and adultery, and being mean to your parents. And those are on the Ten Commandments! How could anyone think being gay is worse than THAT? And for the record, adultery means ANY sex with ANYONE you’re NOT CURRENTLY married to. So don’t try and weasel out of that one.
It just burns me when people are like, “ew, gay people.” You don’t have to LIKE it. My baby sister can’t stand the sight of two girls or two guys kissing. But she is a perfect doll around gay people. She has nothing against the people themselves. She just covers her eyes or whatever when she sees it. I think that’s a wonderful way to be. I don’t particularly care for anyone sucking on the face of another person in public. I think PDA is very rude. But I hate everyone who does it equally. I don’t like some couples more than others. I hate them all. I’m not gonna go all liberal on you guys but I definitely think it’s not fair to be exclusively mean to gay people. They aren’t gonna hit on you just because you’re the same sex. Don’t be so paranoid. And if one does JUST HAPPEN to hit on you, just say you’re not interested. No reason to get all uppity and flustered. Sweet Buddha give me strength, it’s not the end of the world if a person of the same sex hits on you. In fact, you should probably take that as a compliment, because you just happen to be so good-looking that you even attract the same sex. Congrats, let’s move on.
I will say this though, if they keep pestering you after you have politely turned them away, by all means you may be a little more aggressive. Some people just can’t take a hint and you have to get mean. I wouldn’t ask anyone to take behavior from a gay person that they wouldn’t accept from a straight person. And vice versa. But you should not be especially mean to gay people just because you are afraid they’ll hit on you.
And to all you people, and especially parents, who think gayness can be “cured”, GIVE IT UP. You’re insane! It’s not a disease! It’s just what people do! It’s been around as long as people have! Entire RELIGIONS have been eradicated before homosexuality has! It’s just how people live and it’s who they are. And you’re not a bad parent if your kid turns out to be gay. In fact, yay for you, your child has the emotional maturity not to feel ashamed about it or go into denial! HOORAY! It only causes a child emotional pain to be forced to hide their sexuality, and even if they’re straight it’s important for them to accepting of it so that they can live comfortably in an increasingly homo-accepting world.
Stop being dumb people.
